Sound, Sleep, Cocoon™.
I struggle to fall asleep from time to time. I toss and I turn and I keep counting down how many hours I have to sleep, if I go to bed RIGHT NOW. Sleep problems are a global epidemic that affect the health and quality of life for up to 45% of the world’s population.
When it comes to your skin care routine, sleep is a crucial component for the skin’s recovery from the assaults of the day. These assaults include pollution, stress and being dehydrated to name a few. Just a few nights of missed sleep can lead to dull skin and fine lines, and chronic sleep deprivation leads to dark circles and early aging. Nobody has time for premature aging in 2018.
I’ve developed some bed time routines, for a better nights sleep;
- A hot bath, with detoxing epson salts.
- A hot mug of camomile tea.
- Comfy PJ’s
- Deep breathing, while using the Dermalogica sound, sleep, cocoon app
- A very dark room
Skin is able to absorb active ingredients at night, from 9pm onwards to be exact. Dermalogica has released their latest innovation Sound Sleep Cocoon™, which delivers active ingredients while you sleep to transform skin by morning. It also helps to infuse skin with essential hydration that’s lost throughout the day. Sound Sleep Cocoon™ is formulated with motion-activated essential oils to soothe senses with aromatherapy and promote deep, restful sleep for healthier-looking skin. The lavender oil infused in this range is motion activated, so the more you roll around, the more the lavender oil is released for a restful nights sleep. Sound Sleep Cocoon™ is a revitalizing treatment gel-cream that works with the skin’s natural overnight repair and recovery process to optimize the skin benefits of the sleep we do get, delivering glowing skin by morning.
Sound Sleep Cocoon™ brightens tired skin, transforms radiance by morning and promotes restful sleep.

- Turn off all electronics and dim the lights 30 mins before bedtime.
